Adjusting Your Freezer 1.Your freezer is designed for freestanding installation only. It should not be recessed or built-in. 2.Place the freezer on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded. 3.When moving the freezer, never tilt it more than a 45-degree angle. This could damage the compressor and the sealed system. 4.If the freezer is tilted let it stand in an upright position for at least 24 hours prior 9 FREEZER Model:HCM050EC to plugging. This is to allow the refrigerant to settle. ·Proper Air Circulation z To assure your freezer works at the maximum efficiency it was designed for, you should install it in a location where there is proper air circulation, z Plumbing and electrical connections. z The following are recommended clearances around the freezer: Sides…………..2”(50mm) Top. ……………2”(50mm) Back…………..2”(50mm) z Do not over fill freezer for proper internal air circulation. Electrical Requirement z z Make sure there is a suitable power Outlet (115V) with proper grounding to power the freezer. Avoid the use of three plug adapters or cutting off the third grounding in order to accommodate a two-plug outlet, this is a dangerous practice since it provides no effective grounding for the freezer and may result in shock hazard. Install Limitations z z Do not install your freezer in any location not properly insulated or heated e.g. garage etc, · your freezer was not designed to operate in temperature settings below 32 Fahrenheit. Select a suitable location for the freezer on a hard even surfaces away from direct sunlight or heat source e.g. radiators, baseboard heaters, cooking appliances etc, Any floor unevenness should be corrected. Installing Casters Your freezer can be equipped with casters for easy moving. We recommend installing casters before using the freezer. Install following these easy steps: 1.Remove the food basket from the freezer. 2.Slowly tilt the freezer on its side. 3.Tap one caster into the bottom of the freezer. Fasten the caster into place 10 FREEZER Model:HCM050EC with screws provided. 4.Install the other three casters in the same manner. 5.Return the freezer to its upright position and replace the food basket. Note: It is important to wait for 24 hours after installation before plugging in the unit to allow the refrigerant to stabilize. Initial Setup Operating Your Freezer Once the freezer is in its proper place, plug it in an electrical outlet having 115 volts. Set the temperature, on the temperature contrail knob.”I”being the warmest and “III”being the coldest. Initially set the temperature on”II”. Place food inside the freezer (green light will come on indicating that the freezer is in operation). After using the freezer for 24 hours set the freezer to your desired setting. In case you unplug your freezer or experience an electrical outage, allow 5 Minutes before plugging it back in. (Note: If the freezer has been placed in a horizontal or tilted position for any period of time wait 24 hours before plugging the unit in.) Adjustable temperature dial: Your freezer will automatically maintain the temperature level you select. The temperature level you select. The temperature control dial has 3 settings plus OFF.”I”is the warmest,”III”is the coldest. Turning the dial to OFF stops cooling the 11 FREEZER Model:HCM050EC freezer. Set the dial to “II”and allow 24 hours to pass before adjusting the temperature to your needs. Food Storage Basket Your Freezer has 1 or 2 removable basket. It allows you to store food more accessibly or you can remove it if not needed. Defrosting and Draining The Freezer ·Defrost whenever the frost becomes 1/4” thick. Never use a sharp or metallic instrument to remove the frost as it may damage the cooling coils.(A punctured coil will void the warranty) ·Turn the temperature control to OFF position and unplug the unit. For draining, place a tray beneath the outer drain plug. Pull out the drain dial and rotate it so that the arrow points down ward. This will let the water flow out into the tray. ·Remove the drain plug from the inside of the freezer. Defrosting usually takes a few hours. To defrost faster keep the freezer door open. When done, push the drain dial in and turn the arrow to the up position. Re-plug the drain plug inside the freezer compartment. Note: monitor the container under the drain to avoid overflow. ·Wipe the interior of the freezer and replace the electrical plug in the electrical outlet. ·Rest the temperature control to the desired setting. 12 FREEZER Model:HCM050EC PARTS AND FUNCTIONS Parts and Functions 13 FREEZER Model:HCM050EC SYSTEM FLOW CHART System Flow Chart The refrigeration system of direct cooling single-system freezers belongs to the category of a single-temperature and single-control refrigerating system with only one evaporator and is controlled by a single temperature control. 14 FREEZER Model:HCM050EC FUNCTION SCHEDULE Function Schedule Set the temperature, on the temperature contrail knob.”I”being the warmest and “III”being the coldest.

When the power is on, the lamp will be on. 2.Thermostat: When the temperature in the freezer is higher and reaches the value for starting the machine, the thermostat will be closed, the compressor will run; When the temperature in the freezer is lower and reaches the value for closing the machine, the thermostat will be open, thus the compressor will be stop running. 16 FREEZER Model:HCM050EC MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND TROUBLE SHOOTING Maintenance Service and Trouble Shooting 12.1 System Trouble shooting 12.1.1 Servicing freezer (1)Check the whole circuit of freezer, if there are wire connections came off, any wires broken, or a short circuit. (2) Check the insulation of the whole freezer. At normal situation, the resistance is greater than 2 mebohms; if it is less than 2 mebohms, please make a further check of the freezer resistance. Set the voltmeter to R1 Ohm position, put the two voltmeter leads pencils into L and N terminals respectively, watch the indication of odometer. The normal value is several Ohm to tens of ohm. If the resistance is zero, means that there is a short in the freezer circuit or there is a short caused by a bad compressor or fan motor. The reason should be found out and repaired. If the resistance is too big or infinite, this means that there is broken circuit, please check and solve it. After the above checks, the freezer will not have any electrical problem and you can switch power on for further completely check. 17 FREEZER Model:HCM050EC MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND TROUBLE SHOOTING Maintenance Service and Trouble Shooting 12.1.2 Reasons of electricity leakage of freezer (1) Leakage of compressor: mainly because of serious vibration, the motor coil of compressor contacts with the shell, the coat of enameled wire will come off some where and connect with shell. Other reasons may be over voltage, insufficient of voltage, adverse circumstances (temperature too high, ventilation and heat radiation to bad) for freezer, thermal protection unit out of order, etc. They will make the motor coil over temperature, insulation material loose, insulation is damaged then electricity will occur. (2) Leakage of motor connection terminals: the connection terminals of fully enclosed compressor are made from high temperature soda glass sintered ceramics, around the terminals are filled with a high polymer. The terminals and insulation material must have the same linear expansion coefficient, the for requirement between terminals and the shell is more than 0.5 million ohm. The reason of terminal leakage is that soda glass is broken or there are conductive materials such as water, dirt, etc., adhered to terminals. 18 FREEZER Model:HCM050EC MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND TROUBLE SHOOTING Maintenance Service and Trouble Shooting If electricity leakage occurs outside the compressor, please use tetra chloromethane or alcohol to clean it. If the leakage occurs in the inner of compressor, it needs to be changed. (3) Leakage of temperature controller: because of too long a period of service or too high temperature, or too much dirt, or too high humidity, there may be electricity leakage. If it has been defined that there is leakage of temperature controller, please change. (4) Leakage of starting relay: during mounting and repairing, screw of relay lead is easy to contact the shell and leakage will then occur. If you suspect the relay is bad, check it. If there is leakage, please make the connections again and leave a piece of insulation paper under the screw. (5) Leakage of fan: because of too high humidity of freezer environment or a bad fan controlling unit, the fan is burned after long time operation and thus causes leakage. Using voltammeter to measure the insulation resistance between each respective connection terminal and the freezer body, if the resistance is too little, means there is leakage caused by humidity; if the resistance Is zero, means the fan coil is burned or short-circuited. Please change the fan. 19 FREEZER Model:HCM050EC MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND TROUBLE SHOOTING Maintenance Service and Trouble Shooting 12.1.3 Troubleshooting observation (1) At normal operation conditions, the temperature around the surface of freezer evaporator is nearly the same; the thickness of frost layer is similar. If there is no frost at the surface of evaporator (bed type freezer at all of its inner wall), or only a small part at the upper, conclusion can be made that the operation of refrigeration system is not normal, the refrigerant is insufficient or there is leakage. (2) Check the system tubing and make sure there is no leakage, especially at the joint connections. Refrigerant has good permeability, and it also contains a little refrigerant oil. If there is leak, there will be traces of oil at the leak points. 12.1.4 Troubleshooting by sounds (1) When the freezer is working normal, high-pressure liquid refrigerant flows into the low-pressure evaporator via acapillarytube, a gas flowing sound and water flowing sound can be heard. Open the freezer door and access to the evaporator, you can hear the sound. If there is no sound or there is sound a little now and then, there must be leakage of system refrigerant or insufficient charge. 20 FREEZER Model:HCM050EC MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND TROUBLE SHOOTING Maintenance Service and Trouble Shooting (2) After switching on power, Listen to the running sound of the compressor whether it is normal or not. Whether or not hear normal running sounds. If there is heavy buzz that means the motor has not been started normally. If there is bump sound, this means that the suspended spring in the compressor is broken and the compressor is running in tilt. When these matters occur, please change compressor. 12.1.5 troubleshooting by touch (1) Touch the cover of condenser, after continuous operation, the upper part of the cover is the warmest; the temperature of lower part is similar to room temperature. Its temperature is relative to environment temperature. The temperature in winter is low and the condenser’s temperature is low too, and there is only a small part warm. In summer, the temperature is high and the temperature of condenser cover is high too, and the whole condenser is warm. (2) The temperature of high-pressure exhaust pipe is high, when touching with your hand, in summer it is hot; in winter it is also hot. The temperature of low-pressure gas inlet pipe is low. In summer there is dew at the pipe wall and it will feel cool when touching; when touching in winter, it will feel cooler. 21 FREEZER Model:HCM050EC MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND TROUBLE SHOOTING Maintenance Service and Trouble Shooting (3) The cover temperature of The evaporator can be as low as -30℃it will feel sticky when touching. If you’d like to touch, please move your hand over it quickly, otherwise your hand will be stuck. (4) At normal operation of freezer, the temperature of filter dryer cover is similar to room temperature, only a little warmer. If the cover temperature is much higher or lower than that of environment, and there is frost, there must be problem with the refrigeration system. Touching the above mentioned parts, if there is big temperature difference compared with normal, there must be problem and further decision should be made. 12.1.6 System noise repair Normally there are two kinds of freezer noise, one is the natural noise of compressor and fan, and the other is the resonance noise or structural noise. The natural noise of compressor and fan is controlled within a standard range, if the range is exceeded, the compressor or fan needs to be repaired or changed. The resonance or structural noise can be handled as follows: 22 FREEZER Model:HCM050EC MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND TROUBLE SHOOTING Maintenance Service and Trouble Shooting (1) If the freezer is not level, or if the floor is loose, please adjust the base cover or fasten the floor. (2) If noise is caused by tighten loose of screw between the base cover and freezer body, please make it tight. (3) If the reason for noise is the aging rubber cushion of compressor or a loose fastening clip, please change rubber cushion, or secure clip. (4) If tubing bumps against freezer body, or against each other, make adjustments accordingly to remove noise. (5) If fan blade is blocked and thus causes noise, please clear the obstacles around the fan, or adjust fan blades. (6) If the fan supporter is loose and noise is caused, please tighten. 12.1.7 Poor freezing effect analysis and solutions (1) Check the position of temperature control dial, if it is set at “weak” position, please change to “middle” or close to strong position. 23 FREEZER Model:HCM050EC MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND TROUBLE SHOOTING Maintenance Service and Trouble Shooting (2) Check the rear side and the top of freezer, if it is too close to the wall or not; if the freezer is under sunlight directly or if it is near thermal source or not; if the room temperature is too high or not; if the condenser is blocked by cloth pieces or paper or dirt or not. Any one of these matters will affect heat radiation of condenser and refrigeration ability will be reduced. (3) Check if there are too much food stored in the freezer, if hot food has been put in or not, Too full of food is not good for cold air circulation. Hot foodstuff can only be put in when it gets cool. (4) Check if the freezer door has been closed well, if the door seal bar is too dirty and the door cannot be sealed well. Remove dirt and put on a little talcum powder. (5) Frequent opening and extended opening of freezer door will reduce refrigeration ability. 12.1.8 How to handle the seal bar for poor sealing If there is too much dirt and the sealing effect is not well, please take a rag and dip in warm water and clean the seal bar. After cleaned, put on a little talcum powder. If there is still seam, you can put an electrical blower outside the seal bar and make it warm, 24 FREEZER Model:HCM050EC MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND TROUBLE SHOOTING Maintenance Service and Trouble Shooting keep the temperature at 50-60℃, press the bar to make it recover, and press the bar around by hand, so that it can recover. If this is not effective, take a piece of sponge with about 10mm wide, 5mm thick, a little longer than the seam and put it inside the seal bar, i.e., the place between the bottom of seal bar and the door cushion. This will make the seam place higher and adhere to freezer body the same as other places. 12.1.9 Why freezer cannot be used at low temperature environment When environment temperature is below zero, the lubrication ability of freezing oil in freezer compressor will decrease, the compressor will be difficult to start or cannot be started, or Compressor damage may occur. 12.1.10 How to know there is problem with compressor motor It is easy to find out motor problem by checking the resistance of coil. The method is to connect the terminals of “common” and “run” using ohm- meter, the coil resistance can then be determined. Using terminals “common” and “start” can measure the resistance of starting coil. If the value is infinite, the coil must be open. If the resistance is much less than the value the motor has, there must be short circuit problem inside the motor or the windings are burned. 25 FREEZER Model:HCM050EC MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND TROUBLE SHOOTING Maintenance Service and Trouble Shooting 12.1.11 Freezer problem analysis and service Problems Reasons Removing methods 1.

(2) Remove the fan bolts by using fork wrench or universal tool. (3) Loose the fan blade and take it out. (4) Take the fan out from the space between compressor and tubes. 28 FREEZER Model:HCM050EC (5) Mount new fan from the space between the compressor and tubes, put blade onto position and secure it by using a fork wrench or universal tool. (6) Make a test run; check if the operation is normal, if there is any blocking of blade. (7) Make sure not to bend or damage tubing during removal and installation. 12.1.13 Procedure for temperature controller change (1) Switch off power. (2) Remove side protection cover. (3) Unscrew fastening nut. (4) Hold the base end of temperature sensing tube and the controller, pull out downward. (5) Change with new temperature controller. 12.2 Common freezer problems 12.2.1 Freezer cannot be started When switching on power, the freezer cannot be started. Determine first that the failure is caused by inside or outside factors. The factors may be: (1) Outside factors ① The fuse is burned, or the contact of plug and socket is not well, or the voltage is too low. ② The knob of temperature controller is set to off position. (2) In side factors ① Electrical problem of freezer (normally caused by connection terminals coming off or not in good contact). ② Temperature controller out of order (contact point are burned or switch element is damaged, etc.). ③ The start capacitor is bad. 29 FREEZER Model:HCM050EC MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND TROUBLE SHOOTING Maintenance Service and Trouble Shooting ④ The starter relay or overload protector is bad. A bad starter normally is caused by a burn a contact points or the welded point has come off; a bad thermal protection unit is normally caused by burn contact points or a bad heating wire. ⑤ The motor winding are burned. ⑥ The compressor shaft is broken and blocking the cylinder. 12.2.2 Operation of freezer is not normal Freezer starts when power is switched on, but after a few seconds or 1-2 minutes, it stops automatically and will start again in several minutes. It stops again within a very short time period after starting. If it runs like this Continuity and can not work normally; there are several reasons for this matter: (1) Big fluctuation of voltage The voltage required for proper operation is 115V olts. If the voltage is too high, the current flowing through the starter will increase accordingly. When it exceeds the permissible value, the starting contact point will keep in connection state for a long time and cannot be released in time (at normal situation, the motor starting coil will cut off in about 1s after starting). This will make the coil temperature rising rapidly, and then the thermal protection unit cuts off the circuit and stop operation. When power is cut off, the temperature of thermal protection unit reduces quickly and will switch power on when reaching the reset temperature. At this time, if the contact point has not been released, the starting contact point could not contact tightly and it is in false connection. This will make the compressor tremble; thermal protection unit will open after a short time. (2) Operating amperage too high Freezer operation current is too big and will not operate normally. There are two reasons way: 30 FREEZER Model:HCM050EC MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND TROUBLE SHOOTING Maintenance Service and Trouble Shooting First, the freezer stops automatically after a few seconds after starting, several minutes later it starts again and stops automatically again. With in cycles like this and the motor, or starter, and thermal protection unit will burn up after a long time. The main reason is: the motor coil is shorted at some parts. Second, the freezer operates a certain time after starting, but it will stop automatically before the temperature reduces before the desired temperature is reached. After several minutes, it will start again, and the electricity consumption increases bad. The reason is that the insulation around the motor windings bad. 12.3 Service and technical requirements of a R134a freezer 12.3.1 Refrigeration equipment requirements The compressor, condenser, evaporator, drying filter must be special for R134a freezer and not be confused. 12.3.2 Repair equipment Requirements (1) The evacuation and fill machine is special only for R134a use.

The Compressor generates various sounds. There are continuous and not continuous, periodic and not periodic. Their frequencies may be from tens of Hertz to thousands of Hertz. Reasons for compressor noise are: (1) There are two pieces thin elastic steel slice inside the compressor (gas in valve and gas out valve), when the freezer starts, each steel slice will open and close about 47 times per second, this will cause vibration sound. At the same time, the open and close of steel slice will contacts other parts and also make sound. The continuous buzz we heard is this kind of sound. (2) When compressor is produced, there must be clearance between components. When freezer is running, the existing of clearance will make some components touch and gives out sound. Especially, at starting and stopping, the forces acted on compressor components changes greatly and bigger sound will be generated. (3) Noise of flowing liquid The running process of compressor is a continuous gas in and out process. If the pressure of refrigerant gas breathed in or exhausted out changes suddenly, vibration sound will be generated. 41 FREEZER Model:HCM050EC MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND TROUBLE SHOOTING Maintenance Service and Trouble Shooting (4) Resonance sound of compressor components Compressor parts, such as compressor body, exhaust tube, noise eliminator in compressor, supporting spring, etc., will cause resonance sometimes and give out sound. (5) Collision between body and shell Compressor body is suspended by three pieces of spring or supported by spring in the shell. At starting or stopping, forces acted on compressor changes greatly and sometimes make the body contact its shell and makes sound. This situation is of shore duration. (6) The electromagnetic sound a hermetically sealed motor, is relatively small 12.6.3 How is the sound of water flowing generated? Answer: When liquid refrigerant is flowing especially through the evaporator, there will sound like water flowing. This sound is different, for the evaporator used and assembly technologies during producing are different. If there is not this sound at freezer operation, and evaporator cannot make refrigeration, condenser is not hot, this means there is restriction or there is a refrigerant leak. 42 FREEZER Model:HCM050EC MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND TROUBLE SHOOTING Maintenance Service and Trouble Shooting 12.6.4 Gas flowing sound At operation of compressor, it breathes in and exhausts out gas continuously. When liquid refrigerant flows through capillary, there will be gas jet and makes sound of gas flowing. This is normal sound and may be different for various freezers as compressors and evaporators used are different. 12.6.5 Why there is sudden “cluck” sound or “pattering” sound from freezer? Answer: This is the sound of expanding with heat and contracting with cold of condenser and evaporator, or the sound of ice at evaporator surface because of sudden heat or cold. This sound may occur at the following situations: (1) Newly bought freezer, the internal stress of materials has not been eliminated. With time going on, the stress of materials will disappear and it is less possible to make this sound. (2) Temperature in the freezer is not uniform just after frost melting. (3) When open door and take out food, the evaporator feels hot suddenly. (4) Temperature changes greatly of condenser and evaporator several minutes after starting or stopping of freezer. Expand with heat and contract with cold is natural law, and this sound is normal. 43 FREEZER Model:HCM050EC MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND TROUBLE SHOOTING Maintenance Service and Trouble Shooting 12.6.6 Why the freezer’s noise increases after using sometime? Answer: After half a year or one year’s use, clearance will increase because of wear of inner components, and compressor’s noise will increase accordingly. Then it will get stable till the whole life of freezer. 12.6.7 Why freezer’s noise increases after stop use for sometime? Answer: After long time stop of freezer, the crankshaft of compressor may be blocked by dirt brought in by lubrication oil or blocked by freezing lubrication oil because of low temperature. For this reason, compressor cannot be started, or noise will increase after starting, and the wear of crankshaft will increase too. It is better that freezer doesn’t stop use. Sometimes newly bought freezer also has this characteristic. After a period operation, it will get normal. 12.6.8 How to reduce freezer’s noise? At present, all kinds of freezers have the problem of noise. Scientists have been seeking a method to solve it but to little effect. The final solution depends on new improvements and developments in technology. 44 FREEZER Model:HCM050EC MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND TROUBLE SHOOTING Maintenance Service and Trouble Shooting 12.6.9 why freezer noise changes greater at night? Answer: This is because the affection of freezer noise to people is relative to the level of environmental sound. In noisy city or shops, people feel the noise is little, while in countryside or quiet living room will feel the same noise greater. This is the reason that people feel the freezer gets noisier at home than at shop. 12.6.10 What are the national stipulations for freezer noise? Answer: Regarding the side effect of noise to people’s health and the technological level freezer industry can reach at present, standardized stipulations for freezer noise is made in national standard GB8059.1-87: family use freezer with the volume below 250L, noise≤52 dB(A) sound power level. The noise at offices we stay everyday or other public places is much higher than this freezer noise. 12.6.11 Why freezer noise measured at home is incorrect? Answer: Because at home there is not the environment conditions for freezer noise measuring, and the value measured is not effective. The conditions for noise measuring are stipulated in national standard as the followings: 45 FREEZER Model:HCM050EC MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND TROUBLE SHOOTING Maintenance Service and Trouble Shooting (1) In semi-sound eliminating room or in sound eliminating room without sound wave reflection. (2) Put freezer onto 5-10mm elastic cushion. (3) Freezer must be empty and running at least 30 minutes before measuring. If normal stop happens, please make the measurement 3 minutes after freezer starting again. (4) 4 measuring positions are required, they are 1m away from freezer at front, back, front left, front right respectively. The height is 1/2 of freezer; the instrument is accurate sound level meter (A weighted). 12.6.12 What’s the different between national noise standard 52dB(A) and ministry of light industry standard 42dB? Answer: The noise of 52dB(A) in national standard is the sound power level. Under the measuring conditions stipulated in national standard, measure the freezer noise at four points, take the average of indicated reading at greater noise situation, calculate the arithmetic average value of the four points. This value is the average sound pressure level of noise, the calculation formula is: Lw=(LPA-2)+10LgS where: LW—sound power level, dB LPA-average sound pressure level of measuring surface, dB S—the envelope area of measuring surface, m2 46 FREEZER Model:HCM050EC MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND TROUBLE SHOOTING Maintenance Service and Trouble Shooting The standard 42dB of the ministry of light industry is the noise pressure level measured 1m away from freezer door. This value plus 10 is the approximate value of sound power level. The restriction to noise in national standard is more strict and scientific. At present, freezer noise is required to take sound power level stipulated in national standard. 12.6.13 Why the noises of it type freezers are different? Answer: The noise of each qualified freezer ex-factory is within the range of national standard. Different types of freezers have different powers, compressors used are not the same neither, and so their noises are different. Even for same type freezers, as the noise of compressors are different, their differences to national standard 52dB(A) are not the same, and the noises are different. 12.6.14 Why there are greater noises at starting and stopping of freezer? Answer: (1) At the starting of freezer, starting relay will make sound. The acceleration of motor will cause vibration of compressor and makes sound. 47 FREEZER Model:HCM050EC MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND TROUBLE SHOOTING Maintenance Service and Trouble Shooting (2) When freezer stops, because of inertial rotation, there will be vibration sound from compressor. (3) When freezer stops, the compressor decelerates, high pressure and low pressure at gas exhausting tube and returning tube will get balance, thus causes sound of compressor. (4) At the starting of compressor, if the voltage is low, the hammer type-starting relay will make loud sound. Even if stabilizer is equipped with, measurement should be made in time. If it cannot reach the requirement of stabilizing, there must be quality problem with it, please don’t use in case the voltage output is low. For the previous reasons, freezer makes sound at starting and stopping. 12.6.15 Why sometimes noise at far distance is greater than at near distance? Answer: Because the transfer of freezer noise has relations with freezer position, room space, etc. The sound wave giving out at freezer operation will reflect when it touches wall or furniture. So it is possible that at a far distance, it is noisier than near distance. So it is not correct to make decision of big sound just by it can be heard meters away. 48 FREEZER Model:HCM050EC MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND TROUBLE SHOOTING Maintenance Service and Trouble Shooting 12.6.16 How to determine that the sound is noise or normal? Answer: Normally speaking, freezer noise within the range of national standard is normal. But if there is continuous sound of metal contacting from compressor, please check and solve the problem in time. 12.7 National standard for noise There are stipulations in Items 6.5.7.1 and 6.3.6.1.of GB/T 8059.3-1995. 12.7.1 When freezer is running for freezing, there will be no obvious noise? The noise of sound power level of freezer with the volume 250L and below, measuring according to the stipulations in item 6.3.6.1, will not greater than 52dB(A). Sound power level noise of freezing freezer with fan 300L below 300-400L(including 400L) 401-500L(including 500L) ≤55dB(A) ≤60dB(A) ≤63dB(A) 49 FREEZER Model:HCM050EC MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND TROUBLE SHOOTING Maintenance Service and Trouble Shooting 12.7.2 Noise test At the geometrical center of measuring field, put the freezing freezer onto an elastic base (5-6mm thick elastic rubber cushion). The freezer should be empty. Turn the knob of temperature controller to middle or near to strong position and close the door or cover. Make the measurement at least 30 min. after freezer operation. During test, if the freezer reaches the temperature the knob stipulated, and the freezer stops, the measurement must be interrupted and resume 3min. after the freezer starts again. The test environment is semi-sound-eliminating-room. Other test field must comply with the stipulations in GB4214. The test of noise is carried out as shown in figure 8. Put sound transfer units to measurement point 1,2,3,4, measure the sound level by sound level meter (A weighted). Take the greater readings and calculate the average value. The arithmetic average value of these four points is taken as the average sound pressure level noise. According to the testing result, sound power level of the freezer being measured can be calculated out. LW=(LPA-2)+10LgS Where: LW--A sound power level, dB (datum value is 1PW); LPA --average sound pressure level of measuring surface, dB(datum value is 20μPa); S—measuring surface enveloped area, m2 50 FREEZER Model:HCM050EC MAINTENANCE SERVICE AND TROUBLE SHOOTING Maintenance Service and Trouble Shooting Assume l1, l2, l3 is the length, width, height of freezer respectively, unit is m. A=l1/2 +d b=l2/2 +d c=l3/2 +d Take d=1m Then S=4(ab+bc+ac) The positions of measuring points are shown in table 4. 12.8Measuring technology of freezer performance parameter 12.8.1 Measuring content The measuring technology of freezer includes measurement of refrigeration property and measurement of safety requirement of electrical parts.
